Being able to quickly identify the assumptions an argument's author makes is one of the most vital LSAT skills. Which are critical to the argument, and which are unimportant? Are they always invalid? This class will explore the space between the lines, home to assumptions of every kind. Difficulty: 3-5 stars Pace: 3-5 Questions
